AMA Convention Moving
The Academy of Model Aeronautics is moving its annual convention from Pasadena, California, to the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California, in 2004. The 27th annual show will be held January 9–11.
The new location will accommodate even bigger crowds and allow event administration to handle the growth that the convention has enjoyed. Watch for more details as the show gets closer. MA
